| 20080208265 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERCUTANEOUS PALATE REMODELING - Methods and devices are disclosed for manipulating the palatal tissue. An implant is positioned within at least a portion of the soft palate and may be secured to other surrounding, less mobile structures such as the hard palate or the mucosa overlying the hard palate. The implant may be manipulated to displace at least a portion of the soft palate in an anterior or lateral direction, or to alter the tissue tension or compliance of the soft palate. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100292732 | SUTURE ANCHORS WITH ONE-WAY CINCHING MECHANISMS - Various devices, systems and methods for knotless anchoring of sutures to repair bodily tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone or other tissues, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for the operator to knot the suture to secure the suture under tension. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts and find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral re-attachment, rotator cuff repair, and similar procedures. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100292733 | KNOTLESS SUTURE ANCHOR AND METHODS OF USE - Various devices, systems and methods for knotless suturing of tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for knotting the suture. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts may be suited to being a single molded polymer construction. The anchors will find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral re-attachment and similar procedures. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110166579 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE ACCESS INTO A JOINT - Devices and methods are disclosed for providing access to a central compartment of a hip joint. The devices can access the central compartment by distracting all or a portion of the labrum. The labrum can be distracted by advancing a device underneath the bottom edge of the labrum, and using the device to further distract the labrum. Some devices can move underneath the labrum to provide a gap for other devices to access the central compartment. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100161060 | Tissue Removal Tools And Methods Of Use - Discectomy or disc preparation system that includes a guide member that is changeable from a deployment configuration for insertion into an intervertebral disc space to a deployed configuration upon being deployed into the intervertebral disc. The system also includes at least one tissue manipulator, such as cutting, scraping and extraction elements, that can be moved or tracked longitudinally along the guide member into and through the intervertebral disc space. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110065934 | METHOD OF PRODUCING BICYCLO[3.1.0] HEXANE DERIVATIVE USING ENZYME - Production of a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivative, useful as a metabotropic glutamate receptor modulator, becomes possible by a production method that includes converting a compound represented by Formula (II) into a compound represented by Formula (III) by reaction with an acyl group donor in the presence of a microorganism-derived enzyme, without using an expensive optically active trans hydroxy ester as a starting material and without employing a fluorination reaction requiring an ultralow temperature reaction. Furthermore, since asymmetric synthesis can be carried out in a stage closer to the final product, the production method is useful as a production method that can mass produce a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivative. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20090232958 | Fractionated soybean protein material, processed soybean suitable for the material , and processes for production of the soybean protein material and the processed soybean - Disclosed is a process for fractionating soybean protein into 7S globulin, 11S globulin or a lipophilic protein at a high purity with good efficiency, which relates to a fractionation technique for soybean protein into proteins having characteristic properties (7S globulin, 11S globulin and a lipophilic protein) and which is a process practicable at a food industrial level. It is found that soybean protein can be fractionated into 7S globulin, 11S globulin or a lipophilic protein at a high purity with good efficiency by extracting soybean milk from processed soybean which has been subjected to a water-insolubilization treatment specific to a desired protein and fractionating the resulting soybean milk or soybean curd refuse into the desired protein. | 09-17-2009 |
